Apparently it’s because of bitcoin NFT’s although they have been out for a while they are having a massive impact on the number of transactions on the blockchain at the moment , would be great if we had options to use other coins (just paid £17 fees for a £51 order)

Also due to BRC-20 tokens and probably some DOS attacks on the blockchain like last time back in 2018 (Blocksize wars).. this congestion is not as bad as 2018 Blockwars Graph wise.

crazy...around 33%

I need to pay for something I've ordered but the fee's take me over my bitcoin amount, I can't transfer ( top up my wallet) from bank acc as my Mrs is on me !!...was going to be a double stealth order.... LOL

Fees have just dropped a bit $5 for $20 transaction 🙏🙏

Bloody hell! Just got stung twice… transferring to wallet and then buying.
Wasn’t expecting the second one.
That’s me done for a while! 🥴😂

bloody nightmare ...init..

Flippin is! Worked out like twice the regular cost. I hope it settles down pronto.

Some wallets like Exodus have a conversion feature, so you send LTC to your wallet then convert to BTC there. Saves you getting robbed on fees two times.

nice tip Bro...

bloody nightmare ...init..

Still a massive (unprecedented apparently) backlog on the blockchain….

Bit the bullet - had to add more coin to get the order through... I waited like 24 hours for the fee's to drop a bit.

Reckon a USDC payment option might be the way forward

My Exodus fee keeps flipping from $32 to $19, looks like the fees are slowly improving but still too much for me to hit send.

This is the only time since I joined that going to my local connect would be easier/cheaper than buying from LB. However my weed budget is now in Bitcoin lol. I suppose there are worse problems to have.

i use exxodus and ive just triedto send some with a low transaction fee, if it doesnt send how long before i get the btc back?

I’m not sure mate. I bit the bullet last night and paid around £10, and it went through in minutes. I’d normally wait until things calmed down but the weed jar is running low.

I think all orders on here auto-cancel after a few days if there has been no payment or nothing has been sent by the vendor. I’d have thought if it hadn’t been processed you’ll get your coin refunded.

cheers mate, think i'm gonna do the same as you and bite the bullet if it doesnt go through by tomorrow as i'm running low aswell

you can customize your fees on exodus wallet although it will take longer for the transaction to confirm

Hello everyone,
I made a topic with up-to-date, non-KYC, anonymous options to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Hopefully this can help a few people purchase crypto with less hassle.

SOTL

Seems I can only buy £100 at a time now on coin base….wtf ! If there is more of a crackdown , whats the alternative…..if we can’t use BTC?…what is LB going to do to deal with these changing times

Try to make a purchase and ur limit willl increase (just don’t fully put the payment threw)

Seems to not be the case anymore. Coin base is working for me for the time being

I use revolut as my only bank account. no need for a physical bank account,because i have a mastercard with them,all my earnings are paid into revolut,and did not need any photo id.I buy my bitcoins from them and then transfer them to my exodus wallet.fees are really low also :)

Is Exodus an Apple only product? Not seeing it in Play Store.

Possibly just blind

I have ran Exodus on macs and windows

I have used Revolut for purchasing on here before but now it’s asking for a recipients name? Do I need to get an exodus wallet like you?

Do I need to send to a wallet with Revolut? I've just opened an acc just to buy btc 🙃. Can I send straight to vendor?

I’ve done same w/ Coinbase - bought bc & sent straight to vendor. I do have a Coinomi wallet but haven’t used in ages. Only concern is I haven’t submitted a wallet address in case of dispute/refund. Don’t know where to do that, I’m little new to LB/Transaxe & unfamiliar w/ the proper process. Any advice from others would be appreciated

never send straight to vendor, get a bitcoin wallet

Why? Does anyone official actually care about 2dbp? Unless it large selling qualities

yeah your bank!

Why should I not send straight to the vendor

I have a wallet with coinbase can I us this to send bitcoin to vendors on lb

I use coinbase with no issues whatsoever

Yes I normally use coinbase to send to sellers

Anything other than blockchain, right bunch of pisstakers they are

They've stopped allowing BTC purchases from the UK

Does anyone use Paxful? theres sellers who want paypal as payment method and i'm wondering if its legit? the exchange rate is 99% on some offers that would save me a lot of money as i have no ID and being using coincoupon at £15 fees for each buy!

Yeah paxful is good to buy from just buy from sellers with lots of good reviews as some want more money than you sent nd agreed upon but it is overall good

It's a danger zone for sure but a very strong rep helps, take it slow

Holy cow - bitcoin is effing complicated. It's not just setting it up, it's all the fees that get added here and there. Wallet, exchange, verification - and then when you take the leap you discover a UK credit card purchase gets you a 24 hour cooling off. WTAF?
I guess it's just the first transaction but even so.
There should be a really simple guide here, step by step and list a few wallets and a few exchanges. So many searches to figure it out and going round in circles.
I was gonna recommend the thing to my mates but they won't have the patience.
Yeah sitting out my 24 hours now.

well I did it - all through Exodus, dunno if rates good or not but whatevs. Avoid Paybis, bank accepted it but Paybis rejected every time

Btw. Ive been using the plain blockchain wallet for two years without any issues. Least hassle wallet Ive seen! And since I wont upgrade my OS on my mac its one of the few I can actually use. Just sayin, cause Ive seen how it is hated upon on the net. Guess its the competition that spread this lie.

When I try pay from my wallet its asking for a fee ,not letting me .tried all options. Any help appreciated

How much do you have in your wallet?….if it’s less than the total with fees it could throw up an error🤔

I didn't have enough in the wallet. Sorted it .thanks

Cool😎….hope you enjoy your order👍

Which bitcoin site to use

Exchanges still cant beat the price of btc I get on localbitcoinsdotcom. The only hassle is I need to order btc and go to my local national financial agency and pay a money transfer slip with cash. Thats not a prob tho, cause the teller is a very nice looking woman :P And btc is in my wallet in 3-6 hours after I pay.

Can I ask, does 'local national financial agency' roughly translate to the Union in the West or something similar?

It will depend on which country you are in. Look for the bank that is managing the most business in your region...

Seen this on one of the other platforms not sure if 100% correct but I would be wary of coinbase they are very intrusive closed my account a few months ago. They give details to HRMC depending on whether you’ve spent over the threshold limit.

Bustards charged me 35 dollars fee for sending. Was under pressure so had to accept. Good shout though

Closed my account last week too.

What do you use now? Cos this is ruining it for me right jow

Allrite I use bitpanda now so far so good no problems.

Does anyone use the app Bitcoin.com ?

Can someone help me. I’m struggling like mad, iv had my ID rejected at two different exchanges now. All I’m trying to do is order

I have the exact same problem, I open an account and send ID for verification but after days of waiting I get rejected. Really need to buy of LB but can not get around the BTC issue

Finally just got message from.coinbase that I am now verified, will try first top up in morning as I think fees should be less. Then Will make my first purchase of a Oz of hash from lb

Just gone to pay for an order and Bittylicious will only let me buy a MINIMUM of £100 worth of BTC. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm fully registered and have purchased before!

Yes it’s for everyone, it’s because Bitcoin fees are through the roof at the mo and they are trying to negate the effects. They peaked Tues and seem to be dropping but not yet close to what everyone is used to - I expect it will be several days at least until they remove the restrictions

Can you use binance to pay sellers?

You can, however the network fee for BTC is currently £21.... 😔

Given BTC has gone stratospheric then how might this woman go about buying goodies for Xmas?

Ok so I want to buy Bitcoin I’m in the uk cex.io seems to say I still can and there’s money in my wallet but it won’t allow me to make payment with any method… is this because I’m in the uk? And is Paybis going to be any better if I open an account and does anyone have any idea if I can move what I have in the vex account over? Sorry but doing it the first time was hard and now I just don’t really understand the problem!

I started off using a regular vape mod, but brought one of MJ's Yocan Kodos which is much better suited to the job - cheap, easy to use, and consistent (doesn't look like they're currently listed though). The key is getting a device that fires low voltages (3v or lower). The wife uses an Eleaf iStick Mini from eBay which works well for her. Hope that helps a bit :-)

Yocan Uni Pro is my go to. Small & cheap but by far the best vape I've ever used for carts couldn't recommend it enough after trying so many shitty cheap pen batteries.

I use the ooze twist slim. Cost about 15 quid from ebay and has lifetime warranty. Works really well with the carts
